This Japanese Guys 'spoken Word' Video Would Give You Serious Chills by dat9jagirl: 1:01pm On May 28, 2016 |
Find link to video below :: WoW!!! If you're too busy to watch the whole thing or your megabyte wouldn't let you ..I'm glad to do the honors To what he said... Well my Dad really..he's a quiet man You know He appreciates the silence And whenever I speak to him in English He always returns the foreign in favor So for him , speaking Japanese Is like a walk in the park I imagine speaking English Is like a barb wire fence So my father is a chef He'll add extra syllable to his words Like seasoning Something that would taste better in his mouth If i would complain about hunger He would tell me to Go get the cheese burger (mumbles Japanese ) My fathers accent could be an asshole Because my fathers accent ain't smooth Like my birth certificate It's the rough edges around my family's grave It's the crease that creates the wing on a paper crane You see my fathers accent is a hole in a Japanese internment camp fence It's an escape route to his culture. His accent is thick n his words stick together like a vinegar rise on his walking hands He spent more time cooking for people than working on his speech Because he knew standard English Wasn't going to feed his children The recipe is a way of talking to Americans It's how people understand what his heart is trying to say You see the accent is a mark of an immigrant It's a ruler with mile long increments that measures the rule from home So maybe Asians are known to be good at maths Cos that's the only homework our parents could help us with Or maybe I'm just being defensive Cos I'm afraid that my rusty Japanese Is a broken chain link that cant hold my lineage together I'm afraid of passing down my lack of language To my children And their grandpa's accent would sound More foreigner than family I'm selfish writing poems n poems about Japan When my name is the only word I know how to write in Japanese .
